Re: [Videolib] Captioning

What else would you do, Caption a copy of the same film the next time is was
needed by hearing impaired users?
Um question from a technical moron. Are you captioning the copy you bought
or do you have to dub it to caption it? As long as it is the same single
copy you bought I don't see a problem keeping it.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
